Los Angeles Unified School District, the U.S. second-largest public school system, will prohibit all students from using generative AI this academic year, district officials said at a committee meeting Wednesday. New York City public schools, the nation’s largest district, announced a one-year pause on Wednesday on generative-AI tools for students prior to high school. LAUSD board members had set age-based screen-time limits in June; district officials this week clarified the ban applies regardless of student age and said restrictions on content and platforms have been tightened.
